Hello, my name is Lop, I'm from Brazil so forgive me if my English isn't the best. I'm researching Native American people because I have plans to produce a web comic where the protagonist will be a Native American. To contextualize: the comic will be a Steven Universe AU, in Steven Universe, in the canonical history, it is shown that planet Earth went through a colonization process that began 6,000 years ago, carried out by an alien species called Gems, but this colonization was interrupted due to a rebellion carried out by individuals of the same species who saw value in the life that existed on planet Earth and fought to protect it and free it from Gem tyranny. It's important for me to contextualize this for you because my AU story will take place a few hundred years after the end of this rebellion, but this rebellion took place 4/5 millennia ago. In other words, we are talking about native North American people about 3,800 years ago. And the challenge is to imagine exactly what the native people of North America would have looked like 3,800 years ago. the place where the story will take place will be the Delmarva peninsula in the USA for narrative purposes, and in my research I ended up discovering that at the time my story will take place, the native North American peoples of that region spoke the Algonquian language, and I also discovered that, in more recent times, this region was populated by the Delaware people and the Lenape people. So, to create my character and also her tribe, I'm taking inspiration from the culture of these two tribes, the issue is that I'm not sure what I'm doing, because I haven't found much information about these 2 tribes, to be honest, I don't even know If I should be inspired by these or if there would be another people closer to the people I'm going to portray in my story, then if you have more information about the Lenape and the Delaware to share in the comments, it would be a lot of help, or even if you think you have something that needs to be corrected in everything I wrote.
